    Transportation blockade has severely impacted Armenia

    By Messenger Staff


    Armenian analysts agree that the transportation blockade imposed by
    both Turkey and Azerbaijan over 20 years ago has created serious
    problems for the Armenian economy. Armenia's borders with Turkey and
    Azerbaijan have been closed since the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with
    Azerbaijan in the early 1990's. Armenia's only direct outlet to the
    outside world is via its border with Georgia or the much smaller
    border with Iran. The only railway link currently operating is via
    Georgia. Initially Armenia expressed skepticism about the
    Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway but is now willing to be part of the
    project. However, Azeri officials are categorically against
    cooperating with Armenia.
